Checked C

Checked C adds static and dynamic checking to C to detect or prevent common programming errors such as buffer overruns and out-of-bounds memory accesses. The goal of the project is to improve systems programming by making fundamental improvements to C. This repo contains sample code, the extension specification, and test code.

• For a quick overview of Checked C and more information, see our Wiki.
• The PDF of the specifcation is available here.
• Compilers are available here.
